Beyonce Knowles…go to her Youtube channel, and you’ll see a big label slapped across the top of it congratulating her for winning 6 Grammies with songs that she wrote. Most of those songs have associated videos. Those videos have been pulled from her channel. Why? They infringed upon copyright. Whose copyright?
That of Sony. Her record label.
Yes indeed, restricted from sharing the video for the song you wrote by your label because they own it. THAT’S how you know you’ve hit the big time, baby!
I’m going to include a screen shot of what is currently displayed when you try to view the video for her song ‘Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)’ in case Sony gains a clue in short order and allows access to return. Probably not necessary…we ARE talking about the music industry here…but I want to make sure that this ridiculousness is shared for group mockery.
And the music industry wonders why it’s falling hard. Why so many of the artists are turning their backs on the big labels and walking away, middle finger proudly raised in to the air. Why they are increasingly the butt of jokes everywhere.
Good show, music business…good show.
(Thanks to Motherboard for bringing this hilarity to my attention).
